Clients Love Our Fast Service

"Thank you for your prompt and courteous service. I appreciate that we were able to obtain my client's bankruptcy court records in less than an hour. I will definitely be using your services in the future whenever I need bankruptcy records, and will recommend you to all my colleagues."

"I want to thank you for your extremely quick service. You not only provided me with the information I needed, but you did it in record time. The communication was excellent and there were no surprises. Everything was discussed and agreed upon up front before sending me my documents. I would definitely recommend this site to others that need a copy of their bankruptcy records. Thank you for your help. Your company is a winner in my book!"

- R. Krogh Lincoln, NE.

"Let me begin by saying that first, I am very impressed with your service. I had my California bankruptcy records within 2 hours of placing my order and I never had to leave my home! Not to mention the relief I feel over Not having to deal directly with the Court System – everyone knows what a hassle it can be trying to find your way around that maze.
The additional information you provided will help tremendously as I too have just noticed the reappearance of a discharged debt on my credit report. That debt was discharged in 2005 – now all of a sudden the creditor has brought it to "life" again. To say I'm livid is putting it lightly.
The info you provided will help direct me so I may be able to clear this matter – or sue the collection agency trying to collect an old debt after my bankruptcy discharged it. Thank you again and yes, I will definitely refer your services."

- Sherri Young California

"It was an absolute pleasure to have worked with you to get my bankruptcy court records. I searched through many names listed through the Google search engine for companies just like yours, but few of them had any phone number to call or displayed an actual address. Most of them only had contact by way of e-mail, which made me very uncomfortable given the fact that I was paying for my documents with my credit card. With your service, I was able to talk to a live person and ask questions. And I received my bankruptcy records within half an hour, just as I had requested. You were courteous and answered all of my questions and I will recommend your service to anyone that I know of in need of bankruptcy court records. You are the example of what good customer service is made of and I thank you very much!"

- Kristen J. La Hambra, CA

"Oh my goodness, you really saved my neck. I am buying a home and the only thing holding up the closing was my old California bankruptcy records. I had the bankruptcy discharge, but the bank was requesting the entire file. I did not sleep at all last night because I was so worried about how I could get these bankruptcy records online, since I don't even live in the same state where I filed 7 years ago. When I got in to work this morning I searched on the web for bankruptcy public records and found your site, and for $45.00 I had my entire bankruptcy file emailed to me in LESS than one hour. God bless you !!!!!!!!"

- Andrea F. Las Vegas, NV

"We are in the process of buying a home and discovered that we could not locate our Ohio bankruptcy paperwork that the lender was requesting. I found your site online on a Friday night and placed the order for a full copy of all paperwork. I was not expecting to even hear back from your company until Monday but to my amazement I found the complete file in my email the very next day! Every piece of paperwork was there and we are ecstatic! Thank you so much to your wonderful employee who went above and beyond to expedite our request and help us fulfill our dream! Your company is incredible!!!"

- Roy and Terry S. Lawton, OK

"The service we received from Old Bankruptcy Papers was exceptional. Not only was it was fast, convenient, and the best price I could find, but it was also the most professional looking site and I felt secure using it. Old Bankruptcy Papers was a trustworthy site that I would recomend to anyone wondering how to get a copy of federal bankruptcy court records. Thank you."

- Jennifer H. Olathe, KS

- Linda P. Newport News, VA

"www.Oldbankruptcypapers.com is an excellent way to obtain copies and is the best document service for previously filed Bankruptcy Records. Not only do they go the extra mile to assist clients, but they offer valuable information regarding Debt and Bankruptcy filing. Their customer service went out of their way to deliver the correct package, which I ordered incorrectly on the website. They were able to deliver quality service at an affordable price, delivery was exceptional! Again, I wanted to let you know that I appreciate the help and support in this purchase and thank you for the high level of customer service. (I would like to provide my recommendation for your website on Facebook)."

- F. Razzano New York, NY

"We are in the process of buying our first Home. In doing so the Lenders needed everything for credit purposes, including our past bankruptcy court files. I put in my request, and Richard personally called me, to let me know it was on it's way. I received my whole file within 20 minutes. I would recommend this service to anyone."

- Jenn K. Thousand Oaks, CA

"Dear Kathie, Thank you for your prompt and courteous service. After trying to utilize another company (with lots of promises and very little contact information), your bankruptcy court record service was breath of fresh air. Your courtesy call to alert me my bankruptcy discharge papers had been e-mailed is another classic example of the efficiency you, your employees, and your prompt bankruptcy record retrieval service provide. Thanks again."

- Bill C. New Orleans, LA

"Thank you for your fast and honest service! We had over paid for our Los Angeles county bankruptcy records and they gave a refund right away. We ordered two sets of the bankruptcy records when it was a joint bankruptcy - so we only really needed one. The papers I requested came within an hour. Thanks again."

- B. McCleans Los Angeles, CA

"Thank you for the quick and professional service from oldbankruptcypapers.com. I panicked when our loan officer told me that we had to get a copy of our county bankruptcy records. I did not want to call our attorney because I know that he'd charge us legal fees. I am so grateful that I found oldbankruptcypapers.com and that you were able to provide the necessary paperwork immediately. Thank you again. Being in the real estate business, it's good to know that there is a service such as yours that our clients in the same situation can rely on."

- Agnes M. Chicago, IL

"Maria, I want to thank you for helping me obtain copies of my bankruptcy court records. I was not sure something like trying to do a bankruptcy records search could be done, and was pleasantly surprised to find you. Trying to take time off during the day to chase down my bankruptcy record was a very dreaded task. It also helped not to have to go back to the bankruptcy attorneys who filed the BK for me and have to pay more in order to get a copy of all my bankruptcy paperwork, which I feel they should have given me in the first place. Long story short - THANK YOU for saving me hours of time and supplying me with exactly what I needed for a considerable savings."

- Juanita W. Phoenix, AZ

"Thank you very much! That was excellent customer service and immediate results. It only took you 30 Minutes to get me the Los Angeles bankruptcy court papers I needed for my FHA loan qualifications."

- Christopher C. Los Angeles, CA

""Kathie, thank you for the quick service. I have used a lot of on-line services but never one this quick! I hardly had the request written and you were back with an answer. I was expecting to wait for a one (1) to two (2) hour response. Then you really surprise me with the additional information on how there are "New Federal Changes Regarding My Credit Repair" and the "Prisoners of Debt" material. This is great in helping me to get my credit repaired. Thanks again for your help."

"I have one word to use to describe the service with OldBankruptcyRecords.com....AMAZING. The service was extremely fast, less than 20 minutes to locate my bankruptcy records from 6 years ago and had it to download so I could go to the bank and apply for a new mortgage. Thank you, I will absolutely recommend this company to anyone in need of these services."

- J. Dubiel Amherst, MA

"I was amazed as to how fast and easy using this service was. I was told by my mortgage company they would need my full bankruptcy court records, which I no longer had. I found Old Bankruptcy Papers and was able to get my entire file within hours, not days or weeks. They were fast, and professional. My lawyer said they would need almost $200 just to open their file and print it out for me. I was able to get this for way less than half of that. Thank you again for all your help."

- Kurt D. Roseville, CA

"Oh wow, this is awesome! I am not going to lie, when I first was informed about getting bankruptcy public records form this site I was concerned. I could not believe that something that would have taken me probably a whole day to get a copy of, only took me a few minutes - all at the comfort of my desk. The only time I needed to get up was to pick up the bankruptcy discharge from the copier. This is awesome! I love this and would recommend this site to anyone."

- Brandee Y. Payroll Manager - Chicago, IL

"Dear Richard, your services saved me and my client endless days of research and phone calls. Out of the entire mortgage process, the one thing that always holds up my closing date is missing bankruptcy documents. Clients find it very aggravating to have to try to locate old court records; and even though it is strongly advised that one never part with such documents, it is indeed a very common practice. Your services came recommended by a fellow loan officer and I am so very thankful that he shared your company's information. I am sure that I will be in need of client's lost bankruptcy documents again, and I will not hesitate to refer back to you and your company. Thank you so much for your expedited services."

- Chyia A. Wells Fargo Home Mortgage

"Am I ever impressed! As a mortgage banker, I am often in need of a client's bankruptcy court records for our underwriting file. With this particular transaction, I needed to change loan programs in order to keep my client's payments as low as I could. Unfortunately, my underwriter advised that the new program required a copy of my client's bankruptcy court records. Mind you, this is at 5:00 pm the evening before we are to close my client's loan! The loan would NOT close without the bankruptcy papers. My client had no way of providing a copy of her bankruptcy record without going to the bankruptcy court, which was a complete impossibility. It occurred to me that I might have been able to secure a copy of my client's court records online. Desperately, I called you. Now, here it is not even 7:00 and I have the papers printed out and in my hand. ALL OF MY CLIENT'S ENTIRE BANKRUPTCY FILE! Imagine that! In addition, I found your price to be very, very reasonable, so I purchased the entire file. My client doesn't know how lucky she is. I am letting my entire company know about OldBankruptcyPapers.com. Maria, Thanks for a fantastic job!"

- Jon Scott Fitzgerald Financial Group - Rockville, MD

"To the President of OldBankruptcyPapers.com,
I would like to take a moment to commend Richard. After a long day running errands I had the daunting task of trying to find my old California bankruptcy records for a VA loan that I am applying for. After tearing my house apart and not finding anything I decided to try the internet. Luckily I found your Company. I went through the process and prompts as indicated on the website, however, I was not sure if my files would be found so I called the number listed. Richard answered the phone and although it was after hours he offered his assistance. After giving very little information to Richard he found my file. He informed me to finish the process online and that he would send the files to me in 20 minutes. About 35 minutes later Richard called me at my home and apologized because his computer froze-up after he got off the phone with me. He told me that the requested bankruptcy files had just been sent. This was above what is to be expected from an internet service company. That he took the time out to 1st answer the phone after business hours, and to 2nd call back and explain the delay but that the files were now on the way was absolutely the way all business should be conducted. As a side note, during my 20 year Navy Career I was a Certified Master Instructor both for the Navy and the International Food Service Executives Association in Customer Service. What Richard did is highly commendable and should be the Gold Standard for others to follow."

- M. R. Letendre San Diego, CA

""I just wanted to Thank You for the great experience I have had with your good company. You have been extremely helpful and accommodating.

The personalized service (including telephonic communication) was a breath of fresh air in today's 'computerized response' atmosphere! Thanks Again Maria! I have your site bookmarked in case I ever need your great services again."

- Teresa M. Cincinnati, OH

"Recently, my husband and I were in the process of purchasing a new home. Unfortunately, I had not retained a copy of my N.C. bankruptcy records and had very limited time in which to retrieve a copy of the paper work. My loan officer suggested that I go to OldBankruptcyPapers.com. She stated that other clients had great success in retrieving their bankruptcy information quickly and confidently from this site. I quickly submitted my information. Within 5 minutes of completing the online application at OldBankruptcyPapers.com, I received a phone call from Rick who stated my papers were available and informed me on how to obtain them. In less than an hour, I had my bankruptcy paper and was able to maintain a copy for my personal records. Thank you so much OldBankruptcyPapers.com"

Being able to access bankruptcy paper work online the same day I ordered it saved my client a sizable earnest money deposit, because I was able to close the loan on time. I contacted the Los Angeles County Courts and they quoted my 14 days to obtain their bankruptcy court records. I ordered with your service and had ALL my client's federal bankruptcy records with in 45 minutes. I am going to tell every bankruptcy mortgage broker I know, about my wonderful experience with your online bankruptcy document retrieval service!"

- Kelly Mueller Coastal Acquisitions L.L.C.

I just wish I would have known about your website prior to going through everything in my storage!"

"Patti, I've been in the title insurance business for over 45 years. Obtaining old government documents, not recorded in a recorder's office has always been a problem. I've known customers who have spent days either on the phone or inside a courthouse attempting to obtain old divorce papers, bankruptcy documents and other associated paper work.
OldBankruptcyPapers.com came to my rescue.
I'm in the process of obtaining a license from the Department of Insurance and they requested documents from me that I could not locate in my home files. I needed the documents fast and accurately and OldBankruptcyPapers provided me with what I needed at a reasonable cost. All of this while staying in contact with me, and ME not having to waste my time in an old court house.
Thank you for your fine service. I look forward to working with you again."

"The fact that Old Bankruptcy Papers was able to acquire my bankruptcy records saved me $14,000!

You delivered my archived bankruptcy records in TWO days! How cool is that !? I can't say enough to Thank You!"

I would definitely use them again for my bk paperwork requirements."

- Elizabeth Blackwood PTF Financial, Pueblo, CO

"After a change in jobs and 2 moves, I knew there was no way I was going to be able to find my old Bankruptcy Paperwork. I went onto the District Court of Texas site and they said I would have to get it from the bankruptcy public records storage facility in Fort Worth.

So I clicked on the fast service link and within 1 hour I had all of the papers I needed. It was absolutely wonderful using this service. In what I spent looking for my papers Maria had them to me.

"I wanted to write to say how quick and easy your website was to find and use. I needed my bankruptcy documents quickly and didn't know where to find bankruptcy records, so I did a google search. Your website came up at the top of the list. You contacted me to let me know when you had located the documents I needed and again when you sent them...and in less than 20 minutes I had my complete bankruptcy file as promised. I was very pleased with your service. I am a computer programmer and can usually find something that I would change on websites; but I can honestly say that I couldn't find anything that I would change on your site."

- Belinda D. Oklahoma City, OK

"Having a bankruptcy leads to many difficulties in getting loans and other simple things done. I am really grateful that you guys made it so much easier for me by getting my Los Angeles California bankrupcy records for me - in the same day! You guys are really affordable, and fast!"

Frequently Asked Questions

A: Your documents are emailed to you in 1 to 2 business hours. You can also request that they be faxed or mailed.

Q: “How soon will I receive my bankruptcy records?”

A: Standard delivery time is 1 to 2 business hours, via e-mail.

Q: “Are these my actual court records?”

A: Yes – These are the Official U.S. Federal Bankruptcy Court records that were issued by the judge presiding in your case. (examples)

Q: “Will I be able to print them out? What format do my bankruptcy records come in?”

A: Yes – You can print them, email them, and save them to your computer for safe keeping. Your records are emailed in standard PDF format.

Q: “Can you send them to more than one e-mail address for me… and is there a charge?”

A: We’ll gladly forward your records from bankruptcy court to as many parties as you need, and there’s no additional charge. Simply call our Help Desk with the e-mail addresses you need your records to be sent to.Q: “I’m not sure what documents I really need.”

A: That’s okay – Here are some of the more typically requested documents for particular situations:
If you are getting an FHA, VA, or SBA loan, you’ll typically need your full file. If you are trying to correct some errors on your credit report, you’ll likely only need the Schedules Package. The Schedules Package is also what you’ll need to counter any attempts by collection agencies to collect on an old debt that was discharged in bankruptcy court. If you’re trying to rent an apartment, or buy a car, you’ll usually only need your Discharge papers, Dismissal papers, or Final Decree (whichever applies). If you have any doubts about exactly what you need, it’s best to ask the party requesting these documents from you. If your court records are electronic you can upgrade later from one package to the next by simply paying the difference (plus a minimal transaction fee). Always feel free to call us with any questions at (800) 650–5002.

Q: “What if I filed with my spouse, will we both be on the bankruptcy papers; and whose name do we put on the order form?”

A: If you filed with your spouse (or anyone else) you will both be on the bankruptcy documents together. You can put either person's name and the last 4 digits of that same person's social security number on the order form, and we'll pull-up the documents showing you both.

Q: “How will I know if my records have been archived (warehoused) by the bankruptcy court?”

A: Only a small percentage of documents have been archived. You can call us Toll Free to determine how quickly we can retrieve your records right over the phone. Or you can simply place your order and we’ll call you if they’ve been archived. If they are, you can then either proceed with any additional rate or receive a refund. It's always best to call our Toll Free Help Line to be sure, at (800) 650–5002.

Q: “What are 'Restricted Records'?”

A: As of 2012 all records from cases filed in 2003 or earlier have now been 'restricted' due to the records having the Petitioner's full Social Security Number on them. These records are still avialabe, however they now require a manual pull as they are no longer available electronically through the standard databases. If your records have been restricted we will call you to tell you what is required, as all regions within the 50 states have different procedures for retrieving these newly restricted records.

Q: “What happens if I lose them again?”

A: We keep backup copies of all our clients’ previous orders, so ordering duplicates is only $10 should you need them again in the future. Duplicate sets requested within two weeks of your original order are free of charge. * Due to the nature of Certified Documents, it is not possible to keep duplicates of Certified Documents.

Q: “Who all can order my records from my bankruptcy court proceedings?”

Q: “How far back in time can you go to get records from bankruptcy courts?”

A: Federal bankruptcy records are available as far back as the 1940’s. The level of difficulty increases (as does the cost of retrieval) the further back you go. Bankruptcy courts' information storage systems prior to 1998 were at times rather archaic. Sometimes the retrieval information was stored on anything from microfiche, to old index card Dewey Decimal systems (like libraries used to use), to handwritten ledgers stored in old boxes. Many times there is a ‘research fee’ associated with files prior to 1998 simply to determine their existence, and if available, their exact location. If you have a file earlier than 1998, please feel free to call us for answers at (800) 650–5002. Either the case number, or the full Social Security Number of one of the petitioners, will be required to facilitate such orders.

Q: “Can my lender or Underwriter call you if they need to get a 'verbal verification'?”

A: Yes – But they take longer to retrieve and cost more. Certified copies are rarely needed. Due to the nature of Certified Copies we cannot keep backup copies of Certified Documents.

Q: “Are you part of the federal court system?”

A: We are an authorized retrieval service with authority to retrieve bankruptcy court records in all five ways in which documents are stored, however we are not a direct part of the federal court system.

Q: “How To Know If A Site Is Secure?”

A: When you go to a site that displays security seals, be sure to click on those seals to see if they open up to the institutions that issue them. If nothing happens when you click on a site's security seals you may want to avoid that site. They may have pirated those seals, and should be reported to the institutions that issue them.

Court Record Scams

How To Avoid Internet Court Record Scams

5 Simple Rules to Protect Yourself

1. If There's No Phone Number On The Website - It Could Be A Scam

Dealing with companies that only allow you to contact them through email is frustrating at best. Legitimate sources for Official Bankruptcy Court Records always have a phone number that is answered by a live person, so you can confirm your records are available before you purchase anything. The availability of an "800 number" is more likely to represent reputable sources for court records. However Beware - some sites show a toll free number that only leads to a voice message directing you to use an email address to contact them. Site's without phone numbers - or worse, that display a phone number that is never answered - should be avoided.

2. Look For Websites That Display "SECURITY SEALS" (i.e., Norton or McAfee) Then You Should 'Click' On Those Seals To Verify They're Legitimate

Some sites illegally display seals that imply they are secure or can be trusted - but are not authorized to use those seals. Such sites should never be trusted! You can always tell if a site is secure and trustworthy by simply clicking on any seals they display to see if they open a new window to the site that issues that seal, and confirms the security of the site you were originally on. NEVER TRUST A SITE THAT DOES NOT DISPLAY WELL KNOWN "SECURITY" SEALS (or worse, has seals that cannot be 'clicked' on to go to the agency they purport to represent).

3. Beware Of Bogus "SEARCH FOR RECORDS" Options

Some sites offer dubious "search boxes" that appear to allow you to do a search for your records. Be sure to test them with a fictitious name (like "Nine Iron" or "Yard Rake"). Make up a name. If the search shows "Results Found For (the fictitious name)" Avoid that site.

Sites that offer such almost never deliver actual court records. Official sites where you can get your real bankruptcy records never offer a "Special Discount" or try to entice you with something you didn't have any interest in in the first place. Offering a 'special discount' is just a gimmick, which no official site that delivers actual court documents would do.

5. Be Sure The Website Has Examples Of The Documents They Provide

Believe it or not there are sites that charge your credit card, then only provide you with an unofficial "Report" they generate that merely states you've filed bankruptcy. They do not provide your actual court documents at all. Usually these sites will have examples of their "reports" buried on their site, so that when you complain about not getting what you paid for they can point to that example and reject your refund request. Avoiding this scam is easy. Simply be sure the site you work with provides clear examples of actual Official Federal Bankruptcy Court Records that they are authorized to retrieve. (Official examples may take a few minutes to download).

Following these 5 simple rules will help prevent you from the frustration of being ripped-off, and perhaps the agony of having to deal with Identity Theft.

Terms of Use

Due to credit card processing fees all transaction adjustments are subject to a $5 transaction fee. This includes, but is not limited to: ALL REFUNDS OR PARTIAL REFUNDS. This means that partial refunds (from downgrading an order to a smaller package), or cancellation of an order where the records are available electronically, will have a $5 processing fee deducted for processing the refund. We are charged a fee by our credit card processor both when you place your order AND when any refund is made, and therefore we must charge a fee to process any refund.
